To my sweetheart cousin... you will truly be missed. I will forever cherish our last conversation. You called me early one morning on my way to work. We talked about life, our child hood, our children, our lives. You told me if I ever need anything you are just a phone call away... you treated me like you were my big sister, my protector. I love you baby girl & you will forever live in my heart 💕

Our Prayers and Condolences goes out to the Gidney Family. Tara was a good friend of our family. I've known Tara for years even through school. She has always been a fun person to be around. If you needed a laugh or two... Tara was the one to talk too. She was a strong black woman who held down her own. She was a sweet person but also tough as leather. She was a cool all around-down to earth good friend. We are going to miss you gurl. Until then "Rest & Easy" on the other Shore. Love Nakia Laney & The Culbreth Family.
